The Bad Ass And The Geek

Chapter 10

Phone in hand, I glanced down at the screen. Nothing. Yes, It had only been 10 minutes since he lasted texted, but so what? I don't mean to seem desperate, it's just the fact that I always text him back within the 10 second radar. Yeah. That does seem desperate. Maybe I should slow down my texting speed. Why do they have to be so busy all the time playing on their Xbox or PSP, or whatever it is they play on? I sighed to myself and put the phone down on the kitchen counter. I'd been pacing up and down the kitchen for 12 minutes waiting for a text back off him, it seems as though it may be a while so I might as well just do something else. Grabbing a glass out of the cupboard, I walked over to the fridge and took the bottle of Coca-Cola from the side door, I noticed the my favourite chocolate at the top of the fridge as well. Standing on my tip toes, I fumbled around at the top shelf for the Cadbury's Oreo Chocolate Bar. Feeling the smooth, rectangular shapes wrapper, I pulled it down off the shelf and landed back on the soles of my feet. I walked into the living room quietly, as not to wake up the dog, and sank down into the couch's pillows, unwrapped my chocolate bar, closed my eyes and took a small chunk out of the corner.

Summer holidays were just around the corner, next week to be exact. I usually love breaking up for summer holidays because school is usually shit and I'd do anything to be off. Now there's James. I don't exactly want to be off for an entire 6 weeks without seeing his face or even a tiny part of him, it'll be terrible. I wish I could meet up with him over the holidays but I don't want to tell my mum about having a really good friendship with someone over texting, even though we never talk in school. Never mind the fact that it's a boy, and that I may or may not really really like him. Besides, for the first week he is going to the Lake District to visit his real Dad, he's not that fond of him but he's family so he has no choice really. He'll still be able to text me whilst he's there though, thank God for that. Anyway, after he comes back I'm going on holiday to Spain for the next two weeks, so I won't be able to text him because it'll cost too much. And if that isn't bad enough, as soon as I'm back from Spain, he'll be in America, so he won't be able to text me for the same reason I couldn't. It's going to be he'll not being able to text him for that long never mind not see him. I'll just have to count down the days till I'll see him next I guess

Finally. This better be off James, if it's not I think I'll die of sadness. Pulling my phone out of my back pocket, I unlocked it and opened BBM.

I'm so sorry I took so long. I was playing hide and seek with my brother and I got stuck under the bed xx

I found myself laughing quite hard to myself at the thought of this. It was so cute that he played with his brothers though, I mean, what kind of boy usually does that these days anyway? I texted back quickly, but not to quickly. I'm still trying to vary my texting speed.

Haha. It's okay. It's a bit childish playing hide and seek at your age though, isn't it? :p xx

I was obviously joking, hence the emoji I chose. I still think it is impressively cute, as I don't find most things boys do cute.                         

Oh come on Megs, I'm not that childish. I mean all boys my age have a toy gun that they play with as well don't they? Xx

I spat some of my coke out, whilst reading the text message. Seriously, I mean playing hide and seek was one thing but owning a toy gun as well? Well that was most definitely something... Something that made a part of me fall for him even more.
